I always question the amount of jumps too. But who am I? LOL

I like the feet on the ground. I have seen it done a ton of different ways. I like to see his front legs push against the ground, digging in while he tugs on the hide.

The flirt pole is/can be as effective as any tool in the shed. I am a big fan. For me, the hardest part is getting the most out of it. Putting the dog on a chain or cable run takes a little away from it. When I had the pen open I could let the dog go in any and every direction. I did not have to worry about him going after another dog or a squirrel/rabbit that happened to wander by. I could send him in circles, across the pen, changing direction, stops and starts.

On the chain and the cable runs works as well but an open free run works better. I wish I had not filled that pen back up.
